Northern Lights

[F14A-B]

Any of you see it or photograph it??

what a stunning night. I’ve captured a couple hundred photos with my Fuji XT2, but I took a few with my IPhone also.. 

just a couple here..

When I woke up this morning I was greeted with a bunch of pictures of Aurora borealis all over my town. I was too busy sleeping. Wish I went out and looked.

My wife woke me up and drove me to a graveyard nearby, there were several other cars in there with their lights off taking photos. Luckily (for her) we came down to the lakehouse which is far away from city lights. I couldn’t see a thing but she was losing her mind with excitement, she took these photos. The sky just looked black to the naked eye but the pictures were all purple. I could only see the streaks and fell asleep in the car 😂 

 

she said it was better than when she went to Iceland to see them and payed a fortune, even hired a guide hahahaha

 

in my opinion it was the third overhyped natural phenomenon of the spring, eclipse in the rain, small amount of cicadas, and a black night sky 

[Mobasser]

My wife and I saw it from our backyard. She got several photos also. It was an impressive sight.

Ok the cicadas must have read my post and gotten offended because they are deafening now

I heard nothing but Coyotes and a distant dog barking w the occasional owl .. still no cicada here in Indiana.

I think we are going to try to see the lights from a boat tonight

[PaulVE64]

Once up near James Bay.

But on a clear night the Milky Way is also spectacular.

I saw the northern lights years ago when I was an 11 year old living in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I remember getting scared because I didn't understand what was going on. It was like the sky was moving with color.

We saw them last night down here in southern Arkansas but it was weird. I really couldn't see it with my naked eye, but my step daughter changed some settings on her phone's camera and voila, the sky had a pink tint to it. We're going out to some country property tonight, hopefully it will be better.

We had a spectacular show last night and should be pretty good again tonight.

Always seems like it should make some type of sound.

But nope, just silent beauty that never repeats itself.

Total beauty. This was on my bucket list.. I’m ready for round 2 tonight. You bet I am 😁

I was asleep.  This picture was taken by a co worker who lives ~5 miles from me.  I've seen them before when I was traveling, but I don't remember them ever being visible this far South.

Thats exactly what happened to me

I had a front-row seat to a spectacular show last night!  I haven't seen them that vivid - and directly overhead - since I was living in Alaska as a teen!

 

Fantastic!!

 

 

 

 

straight up!

[thediscochef]

Missed em in Dallas cause it was cloudy 😒

[ATA]

Didnt see them in SoCal as well.

[A-Jay]

I fell asleep and missed them.

Because I'm old, stupid and pathetic. 

What a spaz.

🥴

As a much younger man prone to mischief, given a chance, and having spent the day skiing Lake Louise with my 2 brothers. 

 

All of us streaming on mushrooms, and otherwise, sitting in the outdoor pool of the nearby Radium Hotsprings while the northern lights flashed around us. 

Happy Mothers Day

[TnRiver46]

We went to see them Saturday night and they never showed, apparently it was only Friday here 

[Fishlegs]

I've always thought of seeing the northern lights as a bucket list item. I never thought I'd see if from my driveway. It is an impressive event.

Where's your drive way? Mine is southern Indiana. 

[Fishlegs]

Alabama...which is why I never expected to see them here.

I was on all night security detail the night it happened and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, even though I was outside most of the night. I  was around 7 miles west of Jax - maybe the city lights made it unviewable… To tell you the truth , I was disappointed when I heard about it. I’ve never seen it here in my life. The last time it was seen in Florida was 1989, and I missed it then too.
